Shut up, you crybaby conservatives — Dan Savage is the nation’s preeminent authority on bullying and he’ll let you know when you’ve been bullied. No, seriously: in his role as founder of the White House-endorsed “It Gets Better” campaign, he has the textbook definition of bullying at hand, and if he wants to make a “joke” about Sarah Palin getting cancer following her dip at the NRA convention yesterday, he will.
So, yeah, I "bullied" Sarah Palin. Yup. That's what I did. #CryBabyCons #TCOT #Whatever

"Bullying has to satisfy three criteria: it has to be verbal or physical aggression, repeated over time, involving a power differential."
